THE  American  Unitarian  Association  is  the  working 
missionary  organization  of  the  Unitarian  churches 
of  America.  It  seeks  to  promote  sympathy  and  united 
action  among  Liberal  Christians,  and  to  spread  the  prin- 
ciples which  are  believed  by  Unitarians  to  be  essential  to 
civil  and  religious  liberty  and  progress  and  to  the  attain- 
ments of  the  spiritual  life.  To  this  end  it  supports 
missionaries,  establishes  and  maintains  churches,  holds 
conventions,  aids  in  building  meeting-houses,  publishes, 
sells,  and  gives  away  books,  sermons,  tracts,  hymn-books, 
and  devotional  works. 

A list  of  free  tracts  will  be  sent  on  application.  A 
full  descriptive  catalogue  of  the  publications  of  the 
Association,  including  doctrinal,  devotional  and  practical 
works,  will  be  sent  to  all  who  apply. 

The  Association  is  supported  by  the  voluntary  contri- 
butions of  churches  and  individuals.  Individuals 
desiring  to  co-operate  with  this  Association  may  receive 
a certificate  of  Associate  Membership  by  signing  an 
application  card  (sent  on  request  to  the  Associate 
Department)  and  the  payment  of  one  dollar.  Address

Is  the  Christmas  Birth-story,  as  told  in  the  Gospels,  literally  true?  And,  if  not 
true,  how  did  it  rise  as  a story  and  enshrine  itself  in  the  two  Gospels?  And

By  J.  A.  Cruz  an. 

The  Bible  is  a spiritual  but  human  biography  of  a nation,  like  other  great  relig- 
ious literatures,  developing  through  and  exemplifying  the  evolutionary  processes

upon  the  march  with  God  and  man.” 

241.  The  Healing  Power.  By  Charles  G.  Ames,  D.D. 

This  power  is  the  One  Life  manifesting  itself  throughout  the  universe, — a life

we  properly  put  ourselves  under  its  control.

243.  From  Doubt  to  Confidence  in  Religion. 

By  John  W.  Rowlett,  D.  D. 

A clear  and  straightforward  statement  of  the  transition  from  orthodoxy  to  Unita-

By  Julian  C.  Jaynes. 

It  is  first  to  keep  the  light  of  the  ideal  burning  clear  and  bright  amid  all  con- 
fusion and  storm  and  darkness,  and  then,  by  the  glory  of  that  ideal  and  by  the 
sheer  power  of  its  loyalty  to  itself,  to  inspire  men  to  go  about  doing  good. 

245.  Christianity  is  a Life.  By  Edward  Everett  Hale,  D.  D. 

“ And  what  we  mean  when  we  say  that  Christianity  is  a Life,  and  not  a creed,  is 
that  our  Christianity  must  be  avouched  illustrated,  and  extended  by  action.  If 
Christianity  is  only  expressed  in  creeds,  it  is  as  dead  as  a stereotype  plate.” 

246.  The  Religion  of  the  Future.  By  Charles  W.  Eliot,  LL.D. 

An  address  delivered  before  the  Harvard  Summer  School  of  Theology  that 
called  forth  country-wide  discussion.  A notable  contribution  to  liberal  religious 
literature. 

247.  What  Must  I Do  to  be  Saved  ? By  Christopher  J.  Street. 

Better  the  question,  “ What  Must  I Do  to  Save?  ” Salvation,  like  happiness, 
ought  not  to  be  made  an  aim  in  itself. 

248.  What  Unitarianism  Really  Is.  By  Thomas  R.  Slicer. 

Under  five  different  heads  are  expounded  and  discussed  the  points  of  Unitarian

and  convincing  phrase.

biology,  psychology,  evolution.  The  relation  of  Unitarianism  to  the  scientific 
habit  of  mind  explained. 

250.  The  Peril  of  Paganism.  By  Augustus  P.  Reccord. 

The  peril  arising  from  the  increasing  number  of  people  who  continue  to  dwell 
in  the  midst  of  Christian  influences,  and  yet  insist  upon  the  right  to  live  their 
own  lives  regardless  of  the  effect  upon  Christian  practices  and  Christian  in- 
stitutions. 

251.  The  Proof  of  Immortality.  By  John  Haynes  Holmes. 

Two  kinds  of  proof  are  employed  by  modern  science  — one,  actual  experience 
and  ocular  demonstration  ; the  other,  inference  from  what  is  experienced  to  that 
which  cannot  in  the  nature  of  things  be  experienced.  This  latter,  the  proof  of 
logical  inference,  is  the  one  here  employed. 

252.  The  Everlasting  Reality  of  Religion.  By  John  Fiske.

disobedience.

By  Charles  E.  Park. 

Addresses  before  the  Massachusetts  Convention  of  Congregational  Ministers. 

256.  Redemption  or  Recovery  ? By  Minot  Simons. 

What  the  human  race  needs  is  not  redemption,  but  education.  The  sinful  soul 
needs  not  redemption,  but  recovery  from  sin.  Redemption  is  external,  some- 
thing done  for  us ; recovery  is  internal,  a matter  of  the  inner  life. 

257.  In  Darkest  Naturalism  and  the  Way  Out. 

By  George  R.  Dodson,  Ph.D. 

The  need  of  the  time  is  for  a philosophy  that  shall  make  legitimate  our  aspira- 
tions and  release  faith  and  hope  from  imprisonment,  and  yet  shall  be  true,  for 
present-day  naturalism  seems  to  act  like  a blight  upon  religious  faith.

259.  The  Church  which  Lieth  Foursquare.  By  William  S.  Jones.

which,  from  age  to  age,  the  multitudes  of  truth-seekers  pour  into  the  realm  of 
faith. 

260.  Christ  the  Understanding  Friend.  By  Charles  E.  Park. 

Suggestions  as  to  the  nature  and  function  of  Christ  and  the  Church’s  relations 
to  Christ.  The  most  profitable  as  well  as  the  most  rational  character  attribut- 
able to  Christ  is  that  of  an  understanding  friend. 

261.  A Modern  View  of  Retribution.  By  George  Batchelor. 

Humanity  is  responsible  for  the  conduct  of  humanity,  one  (innocent)  member 
necessarily  suffering  with  other  members,  else  the  human  race  would  fall  apart, 
and  the  gulf  constantly  widen  between  the  two  extremes  of  human  condition. 

262.  The  Layman  and  the  Church.  By  Salem  Hyde. 

Aims  to  point  out  what  church  members  can  do  for  the  church  in  return  for

263.  God’s  Part  and  Ours.  By  Charles  G.  Ames,  D.D. 

The  universe  is  made  on  a plan  which  favors  the  growth  of  Godlike  human 
beings,  and  is  as  suitable  and  adequate  for  producing  spiritual  results  as  for 
producing  physical  ones. 

264.  The  Sparrow’s  Fall.  By  William  C.  Gannett,  D.  D. 

A frank  recognition  is  given  to  the  tragedies  of  life,  without  attempting  their 
disguise  in  euphonious  phrases;  the  author,  however,  brings  to  bear  in  their 
consideration  many  other  facts  and  observations  which  lead  the  reader  to  look 
upon  them  in  a new  light. 

265.  Light  on  Bible  Texts.  By  John  Page  Hopps. 

Brief,  pointed,  and  untechnical  expositions  of  many  Bible  passages  often  cited 
by  the  orthodox  for  confounding  Unitarians  on  Scriptural  grounds  in  regard  to 
the  trinity,  the  deity  of  Jesus,  the  atonement,  hell,  and  the  Holy  Spirit,  closing 
with  citations  of  certain  passages  of  direct  Unitarian  significance. 

266.  Democracy  in  Religion.  By  John  Dumont  Reid. 

A church  without  a creed  symbolizes  not  the  destruction  of  faith,  but  the  freedom 
of  faith,  and  in  this  freedom  is  achieved  the  greater  faith  that  appears  in  the 
widening  of  the  boundaries  of  thought  and  life,  and  in  the  pursuit  of  all  noble 
ideals.

267.  The  Priesthood  of  the  Congregation.  By  William  H.  Lyon,  D.D. 

Unitarians,  while  believing  thoroughly  the  prophetic  side  of  their  faith,  are  too 
shy  of  taking  part  in  those  portions  of  the  public  worship  which  are  assigned 
to  them.  The  defects  and  the  remedies  of  this  attitude  of  the  congregation  are 
here  pointed  out. 

268.  Thoughtful  Agnosticism,  and  Present-day  Unitarianism. 

By  George  H.  Badger. 

When  the  thoughtful  agnostic  becomes  familiar  with  Unitarian  thought,  he  will 
find  nothing  to  deprive  him  of  his  bold  liberty  of  thinking,  while  his  own  vague 
surmisals,  his  aspirations  and  ideals  will  be  given  a chance  to  assert  themselves 
and  find  their  proper  strength  in  a congenial  atmosphere  of  frank  spirituality.

1.  Unitarianism  and  the  Missionary  Spirit. 

By  Lewis  G.  Wilson. 

In  what  way  and  to  what  extent  can  the  Unitarian  body  sustain  the  test  of  mis- 
sionary activity  imposed  upon  it  in  common  with  all  other  Christian  denomina- 
tions, and  justify  its  existence  by  its  competency  as  a missionary  body? 

2.  The  Fears  which  Cause  the  Increasing  Armaments. 

By  Charles  W.  Eliot,  LL.D. 

Apprehension  lest  a nation’s  exterior  supplies  be  cut  off,  and  fear  lest  a hostile 
army  might  make  an  invasion  with  almost  no  warning.  Peace  depends  in  part 
upon  international  measures  to  relieve  these  dangers.

disease,  wretchedness,  and  death,  as  well  as  moral  evil 
and  political  corruption,  which  naturally  belong  with  such 
a volume  of  self-indulgent  expenditure,  it  is  obviously  nec- 
essary that  churches  should  take  vigorous  means  to  stop 
the  mischief. 

^ Liberal  or  modem  religion  is  specially  characterized  by 
the  fact  that  it  aims  to  improve  and  ennoble  human  life. 
It  is  not  so  much  a scheme  of  opinions  as  a spirit  of  beau- 
tiful conduct.  It  fills  men  with  generous  discontent  at  the 
sight  of  suffering.  It  enlarges  their  sympathy  and  stirs 
them  to  do  whatever  they  can  for  the  social  welfare. 

€J  This  Society  publishes  and  freely  distributes  addresses, 
pamphlets,  leaflets,  and  tracts,  such  as  are  adapted  to  help 
in  the  struggle  which  is  going  on  to  make  a clean,  tem- 
perate, and  happier  world.  The  Society  is  glad  to  arrange 
for  conferences  on  the  subject  of  temperance,  or  to  send 
speakers  to  general  meetings  where  this  subject  may  prop- 
erly have  a share  in  the  interest  and  attention. 

€J  While  the  habit  of  a considerable  number  of  the  mem- 
bers of  the  Society  is  that  of  total  abstainers  from  the 
alcoholic  drinks,  a hearty  welcome  to  membership  is  ex- 
tended to  all  who  may  be  ready  in  any  form  to  assist  in 
the  general  purpose  of  the  Society.  The  annual  mem- 
bership fee  is  one  dollar.  The  Society  is  almost  wholly 
dependent  upon  its  fees  and  the  gifts  of  generous  friends. 
Correspondence  and  inquiries  are  solicited.
